▶ Your Answer :
In our country, Korea is mostly known as the country of ‘Eastern land of Courtesy.’ People keep their respect to the elders, and are very polite and welcoming to other foreigners. Among all the great achievements and inventions that our country had done, I would not hesitate to choose the Korean alphabet Hangul as the first one to be displayed at the international exhibition. The reasons are because of its uniqueness, and the easiness to learn the language.
To begin with, the Korean alphabet Hangul is very unique in divergent ways. Most of the languages we use do not have any record of who made the language in what time of the year. However, the invention of Hangul is truly recorded that it was made by the king Se-Jong , in 1446. Moreover, Korean is made based on the talking mouth structure, which means that we can pronounce any Korean word like it flows smoothly in our mouth. Many researches has done many researches to identify Hangul in scientific ways and it proved that the words are almost alike to the opening of mouth, and all of physical parts of respiratory systems.
On top of that, the reason why I recommend the Korean language Hangul is because it is indeed the easiest language to learn comparing to other languages around the world. Since it is known that the alphabets are made just like it sounds, there is no need to memorize all the sounds that a word makes, but just have to pronounce the word that is spelled. In fact, a good example of this is comparing the pronunciation of ‘a’ with English and Korean. In English, there are many lots of ways to pronounce ‘a’ because it differs on where the ‘a’ puts in a word. However, in Korean it only symbolizes and sounds just one particular sound, which makes children and also foreigners to learn the language without no consideration.
To conclude, if I were asked to send one individual thing to represent our country to an international exhibition, I would definitely recommend the Korean language Hangul as symbolic icon because it is very unique and easy to adopt. What should be more important is that civilization is happened because people who lived earlier made languages to communicate with others. If they did not invent languages, there are chances that there are no us, or even nothing left. To be more improved and developed, Hangul should be kept and researched by our interests.
